Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
Tl* the contact owned a 2015 kia sorento. While the contact's vehicle was at a complete stop at a red light, another vehicle failed to stop and rear ended the contact's vehicle. The crash pushed the contact's vehicle into the intersection. The driver's seat separated from the base and caused the driver's seat to move backwards and forward, causing the driver's body to strike the rear passenger and driver's seat railings, the driver's window, driver's door, and dashboard. The driver suffered injuries to the neck, head, and face. The contact was seated in the front passenger seat and suffered seat belt bruises and lower back pain. The driver and passenger side air bags failed to deploy. The driver required medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a collision shop. A police report was filed. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.
We were traveling 64 MPH on interstate 75 south (it was raining hard), when we were hit from behind at 75-78 miles per hour by an f150 truck. Our airbags did not deploy which caused us to hit the steering wheel and dashboard. At the rate of speed we were hit, the bags should have deployed. Our sorento had over $9,000 in damage to the rear. The bags are a malfunction, as far as we are concerned.
Tl* the contact rented a 2015 kia sorento. While driving at approximately 35 MPH over railroad tracks, the steering wheel seized and excessive force was required. The contact also stated that the vehicle independently accelerated without warning. The failure caused the vehicle to crash into the post of a billboard. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained a vertebrae, neck, and back injuries and head traumas that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000.....updated 06/21/17 *bf updated 9/11/2017
This kia was rented from enterprise due to my car being in the shop. I found steering problems with this car as with the braking system already which I found odd as this is supposedly a brand new vehicle. Not only that it races intermittently sometimes more than 10 miles or so & at other it slows down even though the gas pedal is being pressed on. On december 1, 2014 I was driving home after visiting a friend who was returning to ohio for college. Following the road, I had to cross some railroad tracks to as I was veering slightly left. This kia steering locked & accelerated to approximately 40 or so miles, went off the railroad tracks & hit the mental posts holding a billboard. I was not drinking at all & was wearing my seatbelt. Airbags did not deploy & due to seatbelt, my back is broken & received major lacerations to my right eye & face. I was transported to 2 trauma units. This kia sorento has had steering & power problems since 2013 and unfortunate for me, I thought these issues were fixed & redesigned. *tr....updated 06/21/17 *bf updated 9/8/2017
